Isepic Chess UI is the user interface for isepic-chess.js.
- Add the necessary files (the order of the .js files is important):
<link rel="stylesheet" href="./css/isepic-chess-ui.css" />
<script src="./js/isepic-chess.js"></script>
<script src="./js/isepic-chess-ui.js"></script>- Wrap your code inside
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function(){...});to wait for the DOM to be ready.
<script>
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () {
//you can overwrite configuration options
IcUi.setCfg('soundEffects', false);
IcUi.setCfg('scrollNavigation', false);
IcUi.setCfg('animationTime', 150);
//initialize a board
var board = Ic.initBoard({
boardName: 'main',
});
});
</script>Note: documentation for Ic.initBoard() can be found here.
